Interface ParameterValue

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Externalizable, com.parabon.util.ObjectPool.Destroyable, com.parabon.util.ObjectPool.Reclaimable, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArrayParameterValue, BinaryParameterValue, BooleanParameterValue, DataReferenceParameterValue, DateParameterValue, IntegerParameterValue, NamedParameterMap, ScalarParameterValue, StringParameterValue

public interface ParameterValue
extends com.parabon.util.ObjectPool.Reclaimable, com.parabon.util.ObjectPool.Destroyable, java.io.Externalizable

Interface to group the set of value types which may be represented in the parameter value abstraction scheme -- that is, those which may be passed around as task/checkpoint state, results, attributes, etc, and encoded in a canonical manner to be passed between clients, servers, and providers. To be implemented only by classes within com.parabon, not by client code.
